Creating a Raycast productivity extension with Cursor + AI

A small Point-to-Point Raycast extension used to turn a repeated file-handling workflow into a shippable utility.

Staying in the flow is important, and Raycast is my point-to-point agent of choice: but it lacks some functionality I used to love about Alfred. Case in point: Grabbing finder files to action, currently missing in Raycast.

But no more!

I used Cursor (AI IDE) to build my own replica of this functionality and extend Raycast. This extension allows users to:

  • Select files in Finder
  • “Grab” them with Raycast shortcut CMD + G
  • Move them, copy them or Trash them with the Actions menu
